[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous] For instance: What if work or shops were closer to homes? What if bus stops were located on your residential corner and came every 5-7 minutes dependably? What if the roads were redesigned so that the bike lanes were universal and protected, or adjacent to sidewalks (not in the roadway)? What if stores provided free and secured bike parking/valeting? What if buses were free, and the purchase of e-bikes/cargo bikes was heavily subsidized? [/quote] Making buses free is catering to people who already have limited options. Better idea would be to instead spend that money on vastly improving convenience, like, much more frequent and routes that minimize the number or difficulty of transfers. That would bring more people that have the option of driving.[/quote] There's no need to choose between either no-fare bus service or better bus service. We can have both. We should have both.[/quote]
